If Harden and Paul lose with KD out, they're finished...

[stalkerforlife]

I don't give a f uck about anything they do in the regular season.

If Harden averages 50 next year, it'll be useless.

Just STFU if they lose this series.

[sportjames23]

I can't disagree with OP.

[GimmeThat]

I don't think you're going to get a pay raise for beating an injury riddled team. But yes to the title

[Smook A.]

I have to agree on that

[RRR3]

I have to agree on that
No way, bro. Warriors without KD are still ****ing amazing. CP3 is washed now. If he was still the player he was last year things would be so much better. Hell they would have won game 5 with last year's CP3. They can still win, but it'll be tough IMO. Best of luck.

Oh yeah they're definitely still good but KD is a big part of that team and they're gonna miss his presence. Rockets really don't have any excuses now because this right here is their best opportunity. If they lose, Harden and Paul are going to look so bad. There's gonna be a lot of pressure but I think Rockets can do it. We'll see

[LoneyROY7]

Legacies on the line tonight.

WE. ARE. READY.

[jayfan]

I don't know. Even if he loses tonight, Paul still probably goes down as the greatest pg to only make the conference finals one time.

Where do you plan on going on vacation after Harden chokes tonight?

The rent-free spot I have in your head could be a good place to wind down. :lol :lol

[red1]

gotta get game 6 at least. already dropped a golden opportunity the other day I think they'll redeem themselves tonight.

[NBAGOAT]

i'll quote max kellerman here. If the Rockets have a 80% chance to win game 6 and 60% chance to win game 7. They still have only a 48% chance of winning the series. It was game 5 that they really blew a golden opportunity

Unleash the animal. Unleash the BEAST.

[tontoz]

Paul has struggled but Gordon and Tucker have been bringing it. GS has played well with KD as long as Steph was playing.

Should be fun to watch.

Unleash the Warriors 20+ point victory. :oldlol:

Nice avy dood. I'll expect a CP one in about 7 hours. :applause:

[Manny98]

Predict Hardens statline tonight

30 points off 10/35 shooting 8 turnovers :roll:

[Koresh]

I also have to agree with OP.

All last year we heard that the Rockets would have won if CP3 was not injured and all of this other nonsense. Now KD is out of the series, you better take advantage while you can. No excuses. The Rockets are healthy for once. The Warriors lost 2 key players in their starting lineup and they have a weaker bench (their weakest bench during this run).

Lion or sheep. It's now or never. :lol

Wait doe...now they're saying Chris Paul is old and it doesn't count.

it counts. Why should we blame harden a lot if he plays wells when cp3 is declining however. Blame cp3 all you want.

[imdaman99]

I would agree but everyone can make a comeback. People thought Dirk would never be able to win the big one and 2011 happened. This was after a couple of chokes.

[Wally450]

I'll be pissed if Curry has a 2016 type game tonight and the Warriors win. :rant

Just thinking about that kills me on the inside. Hopefully that won't happen. Harden, CP3, Gordon, Capela, Rivers and Tucker all need to bring it tonight

[tpols]

donezo if so.

[ArbitraryWater]

I fear the prospect of the enormity of the occasion could be getting to them...

like they know they're right there and its for the taking, and that people will call even with last year, and its gonna get to em...

meanwhile GS flying under the radar a bit even though they've been brilliant without KD for 3 years and before that anyway, and some media voices even saying they play better without KD...

how does HOU respond to a GSW lead, when/if Curry/Klay come out hot?

Lets see.

HOU might jump on em and never look back.

[MiseryCityTexas]

If the Rockets lose this series tonight I'll go on ahead and say that Earl Monroe was a better player than James Harden. At least Earl Monroe lead his team to the NBA finals as the go to guy on the team unlike Harden and Kyrie.

Rockets are healthy, but CP3 hit the wall and is old and trash trash compared to last season.

[MiseryCityTexas]

I'll be pissed if Curry has a 2016 type game tonight and the Warriors win. :rant

I was thinking of a scenario like this all damned day. Curry actually plays better when Durant's not on the floor with him smfh. I remember that year in Golden State when KD got hurt during the regular season, and Curry started going off smfh.

[sdot_thadon]

I'll be pissed if Curry has a 2016 type game tonight and the Warriors win. :rant
This this this. I'm hoping they don't have a well this is gonna be easy mentality going in. They need to turn in the type of performances that they did with Kd in the lineup top to bottom. TBFH Klay scares me in big games even more than Steph.

100

Klay is clutch while Curry disappears when the lights get a little bright (aka, not regular season and specifically during an elimination game)

[MiseryCityTexas]

Can't wait to see how many wide open layups and dunks Clint Capella's gonna miss in this game.

[ArbitraryWater]

lmao

and Tucker

[MiseryCityTexas]

lmao

and Tucker

Tucker easily gets a pass from me because of his defense and hustle plays. Clint Crapela is just ****ing garbage. That max NBA money has instantly turned Clint into Eric Dampier.

Wait doe...now they're saying Chris Paul is old and it doesn't count.

[Duncan21formvp]

If with the best record in the league they couldn't win why should they now?

Yikes.
